Close-Up (1990)
This fiction-documentary hybrid uses a sensational real-life event—the arrest of a young man on charges that he fraudulently impersonated the well-known filmmaker Mohsen Makhmalbaf—as the basis for a stunning, multilayered investigation into movies, identity, artistic creation, and existence, in which the real people from the case play themselves.

76 Minutes and 15 seconds with Abbas Kiarostami (2016)
Kiarostami as we have never really known him before, despite the transformative power of his many movies. Filmmaker and close friend Samadian avoids the talking heads of so many artistic memoirs to offer more candid clips of Kiarostami the man: lover of poetry, convivial with friends, engaging landscapes on and off screen, laughing with other artists. The artist and visionary emerges more clearly but so does a loving, wondrous man whom we will miss now as much as the auteur.

A Week With Kiarostami (1999)
Mohara Yuji's documentary A Week with Kiarostami, filmed on the set of The Wind Will Carry Us. A photographic diary, the film plunges us into the beating heart of a shoot whose story plays out to the rhythm of the relationships between actors and local people. A team led by Yuji Mohara traveled to Iran to a portrait of the Iranian filmmaker Abbas Kiarostam. Mohara met Kiarostami in a village on the set of Kiarostami's The Wind Will Carry Us. A Week with Kiarostami is a cinematic diary of the set, and opened the door to the world of this poetic and mysterious director. Seven days which allow us to this corner of Iran to discover, and the way in which Kiarostami these dreams; seven chronicles we do pay up in the beating heart of a rotation whose story the rhythm of the relationships between the actors and villagers follows.
